New thread

No spoilers! Although recent news is very much allowed to be discussed.

Just watched today's episode!!!! Love the oldies back but OMG that ending!!!! And how on earth hasn't she aged a day?? When you compare with craggy Shane and other old characters. I also loved that comment about Lucy looking like three different people 😂 Very clever! So nostalgic

Do post it on the poor, abandoned spoiler thread, while you still can.

Shane sure is craggy and his hair style seems to accentuate this

Think Mal looked good

Surprised Lynne Scully isn't reappearing

Haven't posted for ages, Mumsnet was being weird and not letting me. I've enjoyed lurking on the thread 😂

Not long to go! Looked at tickets today for the live show but they are so expensive.

Ugh I'd forgotten how annoying Harold is! Rude and meddling, I was glad Toadie asked him to leave.

The book! Won’t somebody rescue the book!

Why on earth would mum and daughter leave the book in the water? I know they panicked and ran, but surely they'd have fished it out first?

Not a spoiler now, who Mal is dating. I just meant I haven't seen it but yes I agree with you. Wtf.

I assumed Annoying and Whiny didn't see the book fall?

Mal is with Issy, with whom Karl, Mal's father, had an affair. I think she went with quite a few men, but it was one of my intermittent viewing periods. She probably had an affair with Paul, because Paul has had affairs with almost everyone.

I'm

Tbh. I'm usually a spoiler fan so know everything in advance but I've actively avoided any for the final few weeks. As if Mail would get with Izzy, she's his half sister's mum and the woman who broke him Mum's heart. I know Neighbours has a history of keeping it in the family but FFS.

Yeah, it's ridiculous, even by Neighbours standards.

Didn't izzy get married in London when Karl and Susan were there? I have vague recollections of Susan burying the hatchet, having a bit of a heart to heart and officiating at izzys wedding?

This storyline is going to annoy me! There's no way mal would go there. And Where's holly?

I want to know what Paul and Harold were chatting about!

Also agree that the Izzy / Mal thing is a stretch... Terese won't find it weird, she regularly hangs out with Leo, Paul and Glenn!

She should dump Glenn and have a flung with Shane

Susan's face!

"I hope one day I can call you mum". Exquisite. They're having fun with this.

That was 😂😂😂

I’m confused by Issy’s comment about Holly, she was born in 2007 but Issa said she was studying medicine and was 19! That’s not possible! I get that they needed a reason for her not being there but couldn’t they have said she’s on holidays with friends?

Wikipedia says Holly was supposed to be an 8 year old when she was in the programme in 2013? I wasn't watching it at that time so didn't realise she'd ever featured as a character.

Loved seeing Joe Mangle - even by video call

Such a pointless lie really, as if Karl wouldn't have told Harold she was at medical school too. Just say oh no she's like her Dad, she's off on some camp for kids who want to do medicine if they really cared to remind us about her parentage that much

Also, why did everyone keep calling him Harry every 30 seconds?

Yeah the Harry felt a bit jarring. He was always known as Harold by everyone, including Joe, as far as I can remember.

I feel like we saw Holly as a young teen pissing off Ben.

I totally believe Mal would go for Izzy. He can be quite selfish and unaware. I remember thinking he was a right dickhead last time he visited. I don’t remember feeling like that back in the 90s but I did have a girl crush on Catherine.

I still can't get over how little Izzy has altered since she was in it first time around! The thing that creeps me out is that she is his half-sister's mum. So if they got married, Mal would be Holly's brother and step father!!! Gross...

I think I remember Izzy calling Harold 'Harry' back in the day? Haven't seen yesterday's yet but am expecting a good'un!

The scenes with Izzy and Susan were hilarious 🤣 You've got a treat to look forward to.
